Andy and Anthony and joined by Adam, a local player who suggested a novel way to cube. All players involved built what they thought would be the best deck that could ever be drafted from Anthony’s Regular Cube (cubecobra.com/cube/about/regular?view=primer). They talked about the decks they built, their processes for building, and what it revealed about an environment which is typically intended to be drafted.
